So you think you can Swim?

We had our doubts if Carson would ever learn how to swim. Maybe swimming isn't everyone's thing, right?

But after many tears, lots of treats for bribery, and spending half his college education fund I think we have a swimmer.

We aren't ready for the Olympics yet, but at least now he doesn't argue with the teacher about putting his head under water.

I wish you had audio of the screaming at swim team. It was supersonic. I can't believe what a little fish he is in the water now. He's swimming with the big boys!

I can attest your money is well worth it. I was there. Unfortunately what he hasn't told you is he will only swim when you are not watching.

I just read your whole blog. Now I know for sure that all you ever do is eat popsicles, swim and go on vacation.

wow, I am so proud of him! he is officially a big boy now. I wish you weren't leaving and he could join swim team again... Logan would love it.

Yes the audio of his screaming session at swim practice would have been priceless. It could have been on America's funniest or saddest home videos
